The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) handed its team, which claimed the Champions Trophy title earlier this month, a $6.72 million cash bonus on Thursday, an amount three times the winner\u2019s purse for the 50-overs tournament.<\/p>\n
Rohit Sharma and his men beat New Zealand by four wickets in the March 9 final in Dubai to win their second successive global title, following their Twenty20 World Cup triumph last year. The team took home $2.24m for the Champions Trophy win.<\/p>\n
The BCCI, the world\u2019s richest cricket board, announced an additional 580m Indian rupees for the players, support staff and members of the selection committee for their latest success in an International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning back-to-back ICC titles is special and this reward recognises Team India\u2019s dedication and excellence on the global stage,\u201d BCCI president Roger Binny said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cash award is a recognition of the hard work that everyone puts in behind the scenes.\u201d Board secretary Devajit Saikia said the players deserved the bonus for India\u2019s recent domination of limited-overs cricket.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis victory has justified India\u2019s top ranking in white-ball cricket, and we are sure the team will continue to excel in the years to come,\u201d Saikia said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
